    Horseback riding.

    I searched for "Horseback" within the MFP Fitness & Exercise category and the last post was Jun 29, 2023, and 1 result in this discussion back in 2018. Is there anyone else here that does horseback riding as their workouts?

    Nice! I don't go horse backing riding but love horses.

    Day one of 2023 Concept 2 Holiday Challenge completed, so I guess I'm doing it? :D I hope?

    I slowed down a little, trying to stay in Z3 or lower because of planned volume increase. I jumped literally 2 beats over the (estimated) Z4 line for 3 minutes of the 45 minutes, so not bad. 3 x 2k, 1 x 1k, plus 2' row in/out between the pieces and a 3' CD. Total of 8,329m including the row in/outs and cool down.

    It's surprising how much less fatiguing a tiny decrease in pace is. I was trying to stick just below a 2:35 (per 500m) split, so these 2k pieces took only about 20-25 seconds more time for each 2k than the Z4 ones the other day, 10 minutes and teens seconds vs. 9 minutes and 50-something seconds. They felt much easier. I did let myself increase the rating (strokes per minute) by 1 or 2, so using slightly more drive speed and less power to get the pace. (That's sort of bad form IMO, but I did try not to go lower power than 10m per stroke.) It was noticeably less tiring. Cardio intensity is weird.

    Day 2, stationary bike (i.e., C2 BikeErg), 15k plus 3 minute cool down for 16,237 total meters at 103W average to keep it moderate, overwhelming majority Z3 topping out at a mere 75% HRmax.

    Starting plan is 6 days on, one day (Sunday) off, alternating the RowErg pattern I used last night with this bike pattern, all moderate intensity at least until I'm sure I won't over-fatigue if I go harder; now through Christmas Eve.

    I ride every Sunday and mention it on here :) although my share horse has been coming back from lameness so we've been a bit limited recently! But you're right there are no active horse riding groups on here unfortunately.

    I've done very little all week, my head cold got much worse and wiped me out, and then my motivation has also massively dipped. Have managed a little yoga on Thursday and Friday but did a 7k walk this afternoon.

    Back to RowErg, 3 x 2k, 1 x 1k, plus 2' row in/out between the pieces and a 3' CD. Total of 8,331m including the row in/outs and cool down.

    Pace on the pieces (excluding row in/out and CD) was 2:33.6 per 500m at average 19spm.

    Mostly Z3, aiming for nothing over that, but again I was 2bpm into Z4 5% of the time - close enough.

    Scheduled rest day tomorrow.

    Short horse ride today, was -1°C when we headed out so I was in no mood to hang about but pony had other ideas! We only managed 2.8km, I had plans this afternoon so a longer ride was out of the question today unfortunately.

    I went scuba diving in a quarry in Somerset this weekend. It's not my favourite thing (the sea is better); but quite a few people from my club needed training.

    It was fun. The water temperature was OK (around 10 Centigrade), although it was cold outside. There was a frost on Saturday which never thawed; it was between -2 and +2 C outside.

    Had a day off work today so took myself off for a walk on a route I hadn't done before. 4.6km so nothing crazy, but enjoyed being outdoors before the rain came.

    This afternoon I walked to the gym, did 40 minutes of core and arm work. First time back in a week and a half due to illness so took it relatively easy.

    I went climbing yesterday. It was fun; I got a few and fell off more.

    I tested myself for COVID today; I'm positive. So I guess I've won a week off climbing and a month off diving. (A few people from the weekend's diving trip were positive, so I thought I should test. I'm asymptomatic so far.)

    @drmwc, I hope it stays asymptomatic or at least very mild! From all I've read, it seems to be a good idea to be very moderate and cautious with exercise activity during & post Covid, to maybe reduce chances of longer-term issues. It sounds like you have a good plan. I'm beaming well-wishes in your direction!

    Lower Power

    Rack Pull 5x5
    BB Hip Thrust 5x5
    One-Leg Press 5x5 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 5x15
    Cable Crunch 3x10

    Added two more warmup sets to my rack pull, made all the difference in the world. Not only did first couple sets NOT feel like a grind, but had to resist the impulse to add weight. Maybe next time...

    Tuesday, so back to RowErg, the same 3 x 2k, 1 x 1k, plus 2' row in/out between the pieces and a 3' CD. Total of 8,296m including the row in/outs and cool down, average 19spm and 2:33.2 pace on the pieces. Bumped up into Z4 for less than a minute toward the end with HR drift, but 76% Z3 and remainder below.

    I wasn't feeling it tonight, had a much busier day than expected for unpredictable reasons, but sad history has taught me that if I get behind during the Holiday Challenge, catch-up is brutal.

    Walk through ice-fog into town to check mail and back. No more than three miles round trip

    Escaped the fog and swam 32 laps (1600 yards) indoors. It felt good. Sauna after was also good. Sun even decided to break through early afternoon when I was leaving. I rode the bike out for a pint with friends later. Bundled up and cycled back home and didn't hit any frozen leaves. Scary time of year for cycling. In a few days we'll start getting rain and a bit more seasonal temperatures. If it would just get colder for longer it actually wouldn't FEEL so cold. I think 38 degrees and raining is colder than 25 degrees if it hasn't been above freezing for several days and the air has dried out.

    It would be a beautiful time to go paddling, but I am still waiting for my repaired drysuit to come home so I can be safe in the weather.

    Slept through my gym alarm, no Wednesday elliptical session for me this week. Not the worst thing in the world for somebody looking to "bulk" I guess. Got a little cardio in anyway, since work is tearing up the parking lot AGAIN and forcing people to park a mile away, but it's not the same.
